With the Trump administration set to end DACA its supporters have
come up with a uniform rallying cry in its defense. “In America we do
not punish children for the sins of their parents”.
Except we do. All the time. One of the most important concepts that
almost all Democrats hold dear is affirmative action. Doesn’t this
punish the children because their ancestors were supposedly racist?
If somebody robs a bank and gives the money to his children what do
we do? Do we leave the money with his children as returning it to their
original owner would be punishing them? No we would return the money to
the owner of the property.
What if the parent and child would illegally squat in an apartment or
home owned by someone else? Would we say they can stay there because
the child did nothing wrong? Or would we evict them?
